Hey, I'd like to write an article about Magic Wormhole [1] - a tool to send files form one computer to another safely.

It still requires a server (magic-wormhole-transit-relay), but the pronounceable key is a nice touch. It is really yet another work around for people stuck with IP4, as with IP6, existing tools already do the job (except for the nice pronounceable key feature). Maybe I should write another article in my "decentralized" series, referencing this one for comparison, and showing several peer to peer methods. My favorite is simply to use 'nc' (nmap-ncat) to send a file directly to a cjdns (authenticated, p2p encrypted) IP, but e.g. p2p email has it's own advantages. It doesn't take *that* long to relay an IPv6 over a voice channel once you learn Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot. -- Stuart D.
